New grocery store aims to help fill food gaps in Springfield

SPRINGFIELD, IL -- Arriel Williams grew up on the east side of Springfield. He remembers as a child going to fetch groceries for his grandmother from Jewel-Osco on Ash Street, the one on the east side, not downtown. That was decades ago though, and the 50-year-old said he’s seen big box stores leave over the years. Their reasons tend to be "closing underperforming stores" and consolidating costs, but when new constructions are still going up and the city's population is only increasing, Williams says he wants to want it make sense. So, when Save-A-Lot at 2520 E. Clear Lake Ave. closed the day before Christmas last year, Williams took the plunge to invest in his future and own a local grocery store. More: Community helps Curve Inn rebuild after fire “I know it’s a food desert and the community needs it,” Williams said. “My grandmother used to run me down here when I was a kid; everyone on the block they’d call my grandmother’s and have me run … So, I know it’s a need in a community and I want to help the community. I used to work in grocery stores when I was younger, so it was exciting

People are still talking about Nov. 4 Springfield city council meeting

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Springfield city council watchers Tuesday would not let the mayor and aldermen forget how last week’s meeting (pictured) ended, with aldermen and audience members shouting after the meeting officially ended. Mayor Misty Buscher adjourned that meeting while some people still expected to have their turn to speak. Citizens and the mayor’s and clerk’s offices disagree on just who had signed up, and a city statement the day after last week’s meeting blamed a communications glitch for some people’s sign-ups not reaching the clerk’s office.

Name: Side Chick Salad Co. Address: 115 N. Sixth St., Springfield Phone: None listed Website/Facebook: Side Chick Salad Co. on Facebook . Credit/debit cards accepted: Yes. Hours: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. Entrée price range : $12-13. Children’s menu : No My order : This recently opened business operates within Wild Rose Artisans Gallery and Boutique and offers several themed chicken salads. I was steered to the checkout counter where a monitor and menu enabled me to place my order. I opted for The Green Flag with oyster mushrooms, mashed chickpeas, herbs, and pumpkins seeds on a croissant ($13). Diners may opt for a lettuce wrap instead of a croissant. My husband ordered La Toxica jalapeno chicken salad with sharp cheddar on a croissant ($13) along with Friendship Ender Kettle Chips ($3). Other side choices include potato salad, pasta salad and slaw. Likes : My choice was a vegan option. The earthy umami of the oyster mushrooms and chickpeas gave the salad a meaty taste and texture, and the pumpkin seeds made for a nice crunch. My husband enjoyed the jalapeno kick of his chicken salad. Dislikes: Parking can be challenging at times downtown, and I would’ve
